Wonderwood is shadowy and contemplative, despite the titanic name it was given. I personally view the "Wonder" in the name as being taken from the word "WonderFUL"... which is one word I can most easily use to describe this release. It is a lovely skinscent indeed!Blog Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16031099057307131978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970730377860494514.post-91700297649672727192010-09-12T12:25:11.227+02:002010-09-12T12:25:11.227+02:00@ Michael:
Thanks for your comments and also for s...@ Michael:<br />Thanks for your comments and also for sharing the piece that you wrote... I think your observations are also spot on! It does have a sense of soapiness as it transitions.. a dewiness that smells kind of clean, for all that it is woody. Much like yourself, I have so many other purchases that I hold as priority over this release, however I would be very happy to own a bottle at one time or another. I feel it a welcome cousin to my beloved CdG 2 man. :)Blog Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16031099057307131978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970730377860494514.post-67932265293373160062010-09-12T02:45:21.831+02:002010-09-12T02:45:21.831+02:00Dimitri:

With a name like Wonderwood I expected a very BIG, pushy fragrance, perhaps because I always think of Wonder Woman when I read the name. According to Wikipedia, Wonder Woman's powers "include superhuman strength, flight, super-speed, super-stamina, and super-agility." But Wonderwood has none of that hyperbole; it is sophisticated, sedate, contemplative. A bit dark, a little brooding, more Batman than Wonder Woman! Longevity is good, but it wears close to the skin.<br />Thanks for the great review!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004279009097135466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970730377860494514.post-12710115711427129762010-09-11T18:25:39.072+02:002010-09-11T18:25:39.072+02:00Dimitri -- Great minds apparently think alike: Jus...Dimitri -- Great minds apparently think alike: Just 10 minutes ago I<br />posted a blog piece on two favorite Comme des Garçons scents, plus a<br />blitz review of Wonderwood (which I just sampled today), and then I<br />find you couldn't resist either. Great review you've written.<br />Did you get the soapy-aldehydic note as well? It's hard to say where<br />the woods end and the soaps begin, or if perhaps some of the woods<br />simply have soapy features. Whatever the case, after an hour or so it<br />was very prominent, and very pleasant. As I had written, this isn't<br />reinventing the wheel by any means -- but that's not always necessary<br />either. I like it. (But I've hardly got any room in my fragrance<br />calendar for anything new anymore; what about you?) :-)<br />Have a great weekend, see you.<br />XO<br />MichaelMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933395486332411202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970730377860494514.post-90615790011959858712010-09-09T17:31:23.320+02:002010-09-09T17:31:23.320+02:00Wonderwood is good!

I thnk I still prefer Hinoki for a sense of being in the woods, but Wonderwood is very enjoyable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02521204516836711361noreply@blogger.com
